Commonly encountered problems in garbage classification

First, residents have low awareness of garbage classification and relevant knowledge is vague. The investigation found that despite a series of early publicity and training efforts, residents in the jurisdiction still generally lack the living habits and related common sense of domestic waste classification. On the one hand, residents have long developed the habit of bagging their garbage and throwing it away. Changing this habit does not happen overnight. Moreover, there is currently a lack of an effective incentive and reward and punishment mechanism, and residents do not have a strong awareness of the classification of domestic waste. , it all depends on consciousness; on the other hand, residents have vague knowledge about garbage classification, and it often happens that residents misclassify domestic garbage and put it away.

Second, some government agencies and institutions do not pay enough attention to the work of waste reduction and classification. There is insufficient mobilization within the unit, unclear responsibilities, low staff participation rate, and insufficient cooperation; some community property management units have In the work of waste reduction and classification, there are many problems such as fear of difficulties, insufficient publicity and mobilization, unfamiliarity with waste classification work specifications, inadequate management, low efficiency of community waste reduction operation and management funds, and failure to distribute prizes in accordance with regulations.

Third, the mid-end and end-of-life treatment of domestic waste classification are not supported. Intermediate treatment of domestic waste classification refers to the further classification of waste at waste transfer stations, which is a key step in determining the final treatment of waste. According to the investigation, some community cleaning staff mixed residents' garbage that had been sorted into different categories during garbage removal, which wasted the fruits of residents' early efforts in sorting garbage and greatly affected residents' enthusiasm for garbage sorting. In addition, the collection, transportation and processing system for recyclables and hazardous waste after garbage classification has not yet been established and needs to be further improved.

Fourth, the waste classification infrastructure is still uneven. Domestic waste comes from a wide range of sources, is complex, and scattered. Domestic waste is not only produced in residential areas, but also in shopping malls, supermarkets, traffic stations, roadsides and other public places. After investigation, it was found that the hardware facilities for garbage classification and placement in the new district are uneven. In addition to the established demonstration communities that use classified garbage bins, most communities still use centralized garbage bins. The garbage infrastructure is not well-equipped. Garbage sorting will be impossible. In addition, the channels for classification, recycling and hazardous waste disposal of urban waste are not perfect and clear enough, which hinders the in-depth development of urban waste resource utilization.
